Computer Programs As Applied Scientific Know-How: Implications Of Copyright Protection For Commercialized University Research, J. H. Reichman

In so doing, it explores larger questions about the proper role of intellectual property laws in protecting applied scientific know-how and the proper role of universities in exploiting the opportunities that such laws increasingly make available.
